  • Strengthen the effectiveness of the National School Feeding Programme by enhancing targeting mechanisms, aligning with development goals, and improving evidence-based decision-making and monitoring systems.
  • Introduce a new performance monitoring framework, including tools for tracking food quality and gathering feedback from students, parents, and school staff for improved programme delivery.
  • Develop a sustainable regulatory and financial framework, leveraging diverse and non-traditional funding sources to ensure long-term stability and expansion of the programme.
  • Increase public awareness and launch a national advocacy and communication plan to foster institutional coordination and stakeholder engagement.
  • Reinforce strategic and technical partnerships through a multi-sectoral coordination platform, with active participation from local communities and school-level committees.
